We have the Central Division clash in the NBA, and here you can read our Cavaliers vs Bucks Player Prop Bets for Wednesday, January 24.
The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Wisconsin searching for the ninth consecutive win, while the Milwaukee Bucks will play the first game after the sacking of head coach Adrian Griffin.
Cavaliers vs Bucks Player Prop Bets – Jarrett Allen Over 11.5 Rebounds (+100)
I am backing this pick for several reasons. Jarrett Allen is a double-double machine. He registered a DD in 12 straight games, two of which came against the Bucks. Allen had 12 and 13 rebounds in those two showings against Milwaukee, respectively, while in one of them, he scored a season-high 30 points.
For the season, the former Brooklyn Net averages 14.8 ppg and 10.3 rpg. Allen is always active below the offensive rim – he averages a career-high 3.5 offensive rebounds this year. Jarrett granned 12+ boards in nine of the previous 12 games.
Cleveland plays without Evan Mobley, who is the team’s top rebounder with 10.5 rpg. Allen will log around 35 minutes and barring an early foul trouble, 12+ rebounds should come with ease. The Bucks allow 14.2 rpg to the opposing centers.
Khris Middleton Over 1.5 Threes Made (-175)
Because of the low odds on Middleton here, I suggest you go with a two-game parlay from this Cavaliers vs Bucks Player Prop Bets. Khris Middleton is not the player he used to be as injuries plagued his career – he played only 33 games last season. He didn’t get plenty of minutes on the floor early this year, but lately, Middleton logged 30+ minutes in 11 of the last 14 games.
Even though he struggled against the Cavs this season and scored only one triple in two H2Hs, I am backing him to make at least two here. Middleton scored 2+ three-pointers in 12 of the previous 16 games, averaging 29.4 mpg and 2.2 triples per game.
The Cavs do have one of the best defenses in the NBA and are allowing 2.3 threes per game to the opposing small forwards. Still, the Bucks have the highest-scoring offense in the league, and Middleton should contribute with a minimum of two three-pointers tonight.
